Honey Mustard Baby-Back Ribs

By yollymg

Ingredients

• .5 cup(s) firmly packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoon(s) chili powder
• .75 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt
• 8 pound(s) (5 to 6 racks) baby-back ribs
• .75 cup(s) Dijon mustard
• .75 cup(s) balsamic vinegar
• 6 tablespoon(s) honey

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 275 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Divide the ribs between 2 rimmed baking sheets and rub with the spice mixture. Tightly cover the baking sheets with foil and bake until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and honey. Transfer 1/2 cup mustard mixture to a small bowl and set aside.

Heat grill to medium-high. Grill the ribs, basting with the sauce and turning occasionally, until they begin to char, 5 to 6 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve with reserved sauce.
